How To Choose a Painter in Sherman
- Cost: Get price quotes from at least three painters. Be cautious of any contractor that quotes a substantially cheaper rate than competitors.
- Guarantees: Ask for guarantees in writing and ensure you understand which items are covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Ask your painter to explain paint selections in detail, including the benefits and downsides of each. This will help you decide on the best option for your project. Some paints have better weather resistance or use more environmentally friendly formulas.
- Qualifications: Ensure your painter is properly licensed in Sherman and in the state of Texas. All painters should be properly bonded and insured. This is especially important if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're concerned about the presence of lead, consider looking for a contractor who is licensed by the EPA to work with lead-based paint.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from family and friends, and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of painters you’re considering. You can also find reviews on sites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
